Game 4 of the Christmas Day slate features the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat tipping off at 8:00 PM. This is the first time the squads will meet with another three matches scheduled this season.
Both clubs last played Friday with the 76ers defeating the Raptors 121-111 while the Heat beat the Hawks 122-113
Season Series
Miami holds the all-time record having won 69 of the 134 meetings between the clubs and also took the season series in 2022-23 winning two of their three contests.
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid has been on an absolute terror scoring 30 or more in each of his last 14 matches. Furthermore, he’s collected a double-double of at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in the last 13 contests.
While many pondered if the loss of James Harden would mean the 76ers would need another star to propel them into the conversation for best in the East the big man seems to have used those musings as motivation to remind everyone of his MVP-stature while Tyrese Maxey has become the perfect Robin to his Batman.
76ers Stats
Philly is on the rise in the key categories ranking second offensively (121.5), and third defensively (110.0) while possessing a net rating of plus +11.5 which ranks first overall.
The Sixers are one of the better bets against the spread with a 20-8 record through 28 contests.
76ers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Joel Embiid, C (OUT — ankle)
- Nicolas Batum, SG (downgraded to OUT — hamstring)
- Patrick Beverley, PG (upgraded to probable —heel)
- De’Anthony Melton, SG (upgraded to probabe — thigh)
- Mohamed Bamba, C (upgraded to probable — illness)
Miami Heat
Injuries have plagued the Heat all season with the core members missing time, and especially Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo sitting copious contests.
They are both back now, and while no one is talking about the Heat (which they probably like) they are lurking, waiting to make the climb up the ladder.
In the recent win, Herro led the scoring with 30 points while Adebayo offered a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Heat Stats
As an underdog, the Heat are 3-7 and are 3-9 against the spread at home. Miami ranks 13th offensively (115.6), and 14th defensively (113.8) with a plus net differential of +1.7 which ranks 12th overall.
Unlike their opponent, the Heat isn’t as strong of a bet against the spread with a 13-16 record through 29 matches.

To summarize the injury report…
- Jimmy Butler, SG (questionable — calf)
- Josh Richardson, SG (probable — back)
- Haywood Highsmith, SG (questionable —illness)

Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Miami Heat NBA Prediction:
Miami gets the biggest Christmas gift with Joel Embiid listed as out dealing with an ankle injury he suffered on Friday.
Although Philly has won without him, facing the gritty Heat who expect to have their full complement of the core playing (Butler is the only question mark) will be a big ask. Therefore I’m rolling with the Heat to win and cover.
